Barcelona Bike Show

Bike Show BCN had all the biking you could imagine from dirt track racing and BMX Freestyling, to one-wheeled monocycles and four-wheeled cyclekarts. We went to Barcelona's Parc del Fòrum for one day of the two day of competitions, exhibitions and shows.

Bikers patiently waiting for...

THIS!
It was pretty long and more impressive than it looks. Some crazy bikers were doing back flips here!

A few from the Forum

Castellers

Castellers, or castle builders, are very popular in the summer through out Spain. Here in Barcelona each neighborhood has their own team. Its really great to see but very scary. The people are all shaking and the people that climb to the top are children!!! The scene is, there is one guy yelling and directing the Castellers, a band playing, and a mound of people pushing in at the base taking the weight off the people in the middle. The very top child has to wear a helmet, regulation after a child fell to their death...yikes!
